Via Dolorosa Street in Jerusalem Poster

The Via Dolorosa (Latin for "Way of Grief," or "Way of Sorrow") is a narrow street in the Old City of Jerusalem, which is believed to be the path through which Jesus walked on the way to his crucifixion. It is a celebrated place of Christian pilgrimage. The second station along the route is known as the "Ecce Homo Arch" as it is located on the site where Pontius Pilate shouted Ecce homo ("behold the man"), as he presented Jesus Christ to the crowd , when he is bound and crowned with thorns, shortly after his trial and before the Crucifixion. This beautiful postcard was originally published by the "American Colony" photographic division (in Jerusalem) at the beginning of the 20th century.
